2.2Event traffic management plans#

An event traffic management plan (ETMP) is a document that sets out the inputs, planning and design of traffic management arrangements required to facilitate an event with consideration of all relevant traffic impacts (refer to QGTTM Part 2). While an ETMP may serve many purposes, it should primarily be used to ensure that an event can be safely implemented with appropriate consideration and management of risks. A range of stakeholders may need to provide input and / or approval of ETMPs. The size and complexity of traffic management arrangements should be used as an indicator for the level of detail required in the ETMP.

Preparation of the ETMP is the responsibility of the designer. For complex events, the ETMP may be included as a subsidiary document to the Event Management Plan; however, from the perspective of understanding traffic risks and traffic activities it must stand alone.

As a minimum, the plan should explain (and document where applicable) how the following topics have been considered:

• inputs (see Section 2.4)
• scope (see Section 2.5)
• risk management (see Section 2.6)
• options analysis (see Section 2.7)
• event staging plans (see Section 2.8)
• TGS (see Section 2.9)
• Traffic controllers and ETMs (see Section 2.10)
• implementation and removal (see Section 2.11)
• notification and communication (see Section 2.12)
• incident management (see Section 2.13), and
• post event evaluation (see Section 2.14).
